That's my point. What's visible is not touching the ground, so how did they get bent out of place? I'm betting it hit further toward the front. If your exhaust hit, other stuff did too.

Did you ever get that lip fixed?

your **** was already busted. you shaved and tweaked the studs even worse when you kept driving on the car when it was having issues. you can't expect a wally world tech to be able to diagnose something properly, and you asked him to torque it down .. which he did, a bit over-spec, on something that was already ****ed.

take it to a real shop, you need a handful of parts replaced.

Lip? On the wheel? Yeah. Some shop in Cali had one. I guess XXR stopped making them so it was hard to find... I got lucky though.

There ain't too much science to your situation. Buy studs and lugs that work together and over night ship it. Replace and install it yourself /thread

This is why you dont buy cars you cant affoed. I suggest the op, and many others, to learn how to save and stop living paycheck to paycheck. Cause when **** like this happens, and you got no savings, youre stuck between a rock and a hard place

Thanks for moving it.

Tirerack admitted their fault, gave me the right pitch nuts and once my mechanic takes a look at it Monday they told me to call them and they'll go from there with the repairs. Sounded like everything was going to be taken care of so thumps up to Tirerack.

I'll post what all got damaged when I know so you guys can have a laugh. ��

On a side note, what the hell is this?
